Earls Moving Company

Down-Home, Owner-Run Movers & Storage Serving Birmingham And Yes, That’s Earl on the Side of the Truck

One written price, signed off by Earl and carried out by the same Birmingham crew he hires and trains himself — we blanket every piece and lay down floor runners, settle the number before a single box leaves the house, and keep a climate-controlled vault open if your closing dates slip.

  • Earl’s own trucks and his own W-2 movers, every one of them hired, background-checked and trained in-house — the crew that loads your house is the crew that unloads it, never a temp, never handed off to somebody else
  • A single number put down on paper before move day — the clock never starts ticking and nobody hits you with extras once the truck is loaded at the curb
  • A climate-controlled vault to hold your things through the gap when a Birmingham closing date and a move-in date refuse to meet in the middle

Ask Earl for your set price

Drop us the basics and someone in our Avondale office writes back with one firm price for the whole move — you owe nothing, and it’s usually in your inbox within the hour.

One Honest Birmingham Number, Put Down on Paper

A single, plain figure — no add-ons hidden in the fine print, no clock creeping up while the crew eases a sectional down the steep front steps of a Highland Park craftsman or threads a narrow stairwell in a Forest Park Tudor. Blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap, floor and door guards and Earl’s own trained movers are all folded into what we quote for your Birmingham move.

Check Dates & Get Your Price

What Move Day Looks Like with Earl’s Crew

Four plain steps — from the first time you call us to the last box carried into your new place somewhere around the Birmingham metro.

1

Tell us what you’ve got

Give us the two ZIPs, the date you’re aiming for and a rough run-down of what’s coming. We work up a flat written quote and have it back in your hands that same day.

2

Hold your spot

An $89 deposit pins down the date and comes right off your total. We settle on how many movers you’ll need and an arrival window so nothing’s left guessing — right down to the certificates a Lakeview or Five Points condo board wants and where we’ll park the truck on a steep or no-driveway street.

3

Earl’s crew loads the truck

The same uniformed Earls Moving Company movers pull up when we said they would, blanket and wrap every piece, and load Earl’s own truck — nobody you’ve never met, nothing handed off to another outfit.

4

We set you up in the new place

Our movers drive every mile themselves, haul it up the hilly front walk or down to a basement, put the beds and tables back together and land each piece right where you point. The figure we wrote down is the figure you hand over — nothing more.

Birmingham Movers Who Own Every Truck & Train Every Hand — One Flat Price,
Gentle Handling, and the Same Faces from First Box to Last

A 1920s craftsman in Highland Park with a flight of front steps. A loft over in Lakeview. A Forest Park Tudor, or a newer two-story out past Hoover. We’ve carried furniture out of all of them.

Professional Jefferson County movers who pad and wrap every piece the way we would our own — under a single set written price that holds firm on move day. Whether you are carrying a sofa through Avondale, muscling a sectional up a tight craftsman staircase, figuring out a hill and nowhere to park, or moving a family up into Vestavia Hills, the number we wrote down is the number you square up — no clock running and no charges tacked on after the fact.

Why People Choose Earls Moving Company

  • A firm price agreed before move day — not an hourly tab that grows while you watch
  • A full-time, trained crew that Earl hires and background-checks with his own eyes — nobody pulled off a temp app, nothing passed along to another company
  • We blanket it, wrap it, carry it, drive it and put it back together — one crew, one bill, start to finish
  • US DOT/MC authority and Alabama PSC household-goods authority on file, fully insured
  • We know how Birmingham actually moves — the older craftsman and Tudor houses around Highland Park, Forest Park and Crestwood with steep drives or none at all and stairwells you can barely turn a dresser in, the Five Points and Lakeview condos, and the thick, humid summers we keep working straight through

Earl Caldwell, owner of Earls Moving Company
About the owner

Earl Caldwell — Owner of Earls Moving Company

Earl came up around Crestwood and Avondale and put in years on Birmingham moving crews before he started Earls Moving Company in 2010 with a single truck and one plain promise: quote a flat written price, pull up when we said we would, and handle your furniture the way we’d handle our own. He still runs the place, hires every mover himself and trains the crew in person — so the crew on your porch is ours, never a temp, never a job handed off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plain answers to the things folks ask before booking our Birmingham crew.

Are you a moving company?
Yes — Earls Moving Company is a fully licensed and insured local moving company based in Birmingham, AL. We load, drive and unload every job with our own trucks and our own uniformed crews, under US DOT/MC authority and our Alabama Public Service Commission household-goods authority. No — we are not a broker or a matching service. We hire, train and run our own crews and trucks.
What’s a Birmingham move going to cost me?
We quote every job as one flat written price built around your home, how hard it is to get in and out, and what you’re actually hauling — not an hourly clock. The figure we put on paper is the figure you settle, with nothing extra sprung on move day. If you’d rather pay by the hour, a 2-man crew and truck runs $115/hr.
Does the written quote cost anything?
Not a dime. Send the two ZIPs, your date and a rundown of what’s moving, and Earl works up a free flat written price and gets it back to you the same day. No obligation either way.
Do I have to put money down to book?
An $89 deposit reserves your date and comes right off the total. You settle the rest on move day, once the truck’s empty and you’re moved in.
So you’re fully licensed and covered?
Yes — Earls Moving Company carries US DOT/MC authority and Alabama PSC household-goods authority, and we’re bonded and insured. Released-value coverage at $0.60/lb is included, with full-value protection optional, and up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment.
What kinds of moves does Earl’s crew do?
Local moves across Jefferson County, apartment and condo moves, full-service packing, short-term storage, and long-distance moves from Birmingham, AL to anywhere in the country — all on our own dedicated trucks.
